I think they should pay more to cover the cost of the calls to the fire brigade to extinguish them. :) .

I think they prefer to make sure of the data before releasing any of it, and frankly I don't blame them, given how unforgiving the media and public are. A high proportion of these immigrant residents won't be on the electoral roll or even registered to doctors etc, and in London there's often...

No-one. The only sensible thing now is the one that needs courage, to back out of leaving the EU and admit the UK governments have made serious mistakes in this matter. Less than a 4% margin of the voters and far less of the electorate was never a public mandate for such a serious move as...

Not in the case of that fly tipping. All those I mentioned were and are in Surrey, I live right on the boundary and cycle in the lanes. Of course we do get fly tipping in the London Borough as well, but I doubt it's any worse than anywhere else, mainly dumped household items. The...

I'm sure no-one will, it happens here in the South East too, sometimes worse. For example tipper lorry fly tipping in lanes, totally blocking them across to all traffic. And an interesting variation, driving a pickup full of waste along the road with someone on the back throwing off the...

No, it wasn't intended to be sarcastic. These were mainly council flats with a very high proportion occupied by immigrants, many recent including from such as Syria, Libya etc and arriving here with nothing. They are unlikely to have high levels of possessions or particularly expensive ones...

Someone rich enough to pay at least twice as much to cycle. ;) That's obviously what's behind the thinking, e-bikers can afford more. .

Not so, their council and the government have promised they will be rehomed in the same area, so the council tenants will continue with rent etc as before. I'm quite sure the grant money for replacements will not be assessed as if it were income or capital, given the current public mood that...

I doubt money will be a problem for the victims, since the government has set up a £5 million fund for them. Grenfell Tower had 120 flats, so that averages nearly £42,000 per home. Equivalent rental and mostly council flats should easily be furnished and re-equipped with that much money...

I found the same with my heavily loaded large trailer, drivers coming up behind often not able to even see a bike or rider and baffled as to what was ahead! :)

I prefer the expression priority and operate a system of priority and care when on the road driving my car. Top are loose animals, then horse riders, simply because control is divided between a human mind and an unpredictable one, so anything could happen. Next emergency vehicles on a priority...

The one thing about this issue that has always concerned me is that commercial high rise is commonly equipped with a sprinkler system, residential high rise isn't. That says a lot about what our society values. .

I think so, the date was set when they were in power so it's just a continuation of that authority. Changing the date at this stage wouldn't be legal. .

There have been a number of powered trailers over the years, Tony Castles was selling one in the 1990s powered by the Currie motor unit. Also back then the Dutch produced some, the one below was intended for solo bikes as well as trikes. I've never seen anything definitive about their legal...

The usual Farage distorted spin on things, ignoring the obvious fact that there was a huge swing against Theresa May's hard Brexit policies. The electorate have voted for two things in the two referendums on Europe. Over 67% voted for remaining in the Common Market. Under 52% voted to leave...

If you haven't got an old battery so need a complete battery, I'm afraid there's only two options, a new one from Powacycle or trying to find a used one that can be renovated. Batteries from Powacycle's Salisbury and Windsor models are suitable. Insat on the number given above can renovate...

Phone Intech's number that d8veh gave above and ask for a quote, Please note that Powabyke is a completely different make, your Salisbury model is a Powacycle, not a Powabyke. .

I did and it paid off in the same way. My weight ranged up to 12 stones in the days when they were the way we measured, but these days a little over 10 stones (64 kilos). .

The bits for adjustment illustrated on this link. .

NO! I copied and pasted the part I posted. It's been edited (and still misspelt of course), probably after many people drew it to their attention. I only copied and pasted the beginning of the caption, the full original photo caption read: "A pedestrian cycles past the burning bike". .
